That's not cool! You should try the one I go to. It's just up Symonds St from uni, and she's much easier to talk to than any of the others I've ever been to.

Oh bugger! At least it was only 50 bucks! Remember the bank thing where they accidently transferred all that money ( I can't remember but it was a ridiculous amount) At least it wasn't like that! That's not cool! You should try the one I go to. It's just up Symonds St from uni, and she's much easier to talk to than any of the others I've ever been to. I just might do that! Because I now dont have one, and my fringe should have it's own orbit it's so out of control! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkshineskitty Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Haha, I like their list of situations. My favourites: -When watching tv with the parents and there's a particularly awkward sex scene This. I don't really have awkward conversation at the hairdressers. I just use the opportunity to stare blankly into space or at my reflection. I'm an excellent daydreamer- anywhere, anytime- so I find it easy to just zone out and not feel awkward at all. That said, next time I go its probably going to be uber awkward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Ed_ Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 So Nick Smith's made an apology (of low-to-average sincerity) for his comments. Better than nothing, but it doesn't suddenly make it alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkshineskitty Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 What exactly were the comments that Nick Smith made anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoBear Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 People, and their families, who commit suicide or acts of self-harm, will no longer be eligible for compensation. Dr Smith said if someone with a family committed suicide the family could have been given almost $1 million in compensation over time.  He would not say whether that was an incentive for people contemplating suicide.  "If my doctor told me that I was terminally ill and I had 30 days to live, with the ACC rules the way they are, I'd be finding myself a train to throw myself under on the 29th day because my family would be treated so much more generously," Dr Smith told reporters.  Suicide was tragic but not an accident, he said.  as oren said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkshineskitty Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 as oren said  Oh sorry, must have missed that post.  What a weird thing to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoBear Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 i'm starting to realise how little people actually understand about the reason ACC exists. they seem to be just falling for national's push to have it privatised. i'm so frustrated by it all. i do not want our society to become one of litigation that if i was involved in a serious car accident, instead of getting 80% of my wages from the second week (and first week paid by the employer if it was on the way to work!), that i would have to hire a lawyer and spend heaps of money going through the court sueing whoever is responsible.

darkshineskitty Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Posted this in Banter but reposting here simply for making conversation: Do any of you guys get banner ads in your email etc for that 'Evony' internet game? Those ads are just getting more and more ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkshineskitty Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, so I guess my answer is no! Its like one of those online worldwide multiplayer game things, something to do with building medieval cities and battling, etc. I imagine its like Age of Empires on a bigger international scale. But the pictures they use for the ads are so stupid. It started with like an painted image of busty, glowing maiden with something like 'your empire awaits, my lord!' written underneath. Which, okay, at least she was in a medieval outfit and had the lingo down. But now the ads are just photos of hot girls wearing questionable outfits. They're not even fitting the theme! Shameless.

darkshineskitty Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Must do. Argh, I have the remainder of a cough and its just at that tickly stage where coughing is really unsatisfying and relieves the tickle for about a second. I was twitching all day in class today trying to suppress it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
